[...] There have been a lot of flying ants making merry in my house recently.Â They buzz around my bed at night, and drop onto my face in the dark.Â A while back I heard a revolting story from a friend, who woke up one night to see a spider crawling out of her boyfriendâ€™s nose, so Iâ€™ve been sleeping with a mosquito coil burning not quite near enough to my head to set my hair on fire.Â It seems to have done the trick, but I am fed up with ants, and other kinds of bugs, invading my house.Â Iâ€™m sorry to go on, but reallyâ€¦ when will it end?

Chip (of Ed’s World) tells the story of a Californian friend who kept getting unexplained rashes and feeling ill. Eventually someone ralised these rashes were from black Widdow spider bites, and an exterminator located a nest of the things inside his mattress. Apprently the only reason he survived that number of bites was that it was the babies biting him.

Sorry, but you did ask what might be next for your sofa…..

Something worse than cockroaches. Nuts. Well, if DOOM doesn’t work on the Jude Laws you now have scuttling around the house and using your phone to call other women while riflng through your unmentinables drawer, just leave a trail of blonde nannies that leads out the front door. That should do it.

George Clooney, hey? As long as you leave Liam Neeson and John Corbett alone. I myself will be saying a special incantation later this evening…

Zenta - you are a miracle. I currently have Jude Law, at my slavering all over me. I wish I had remembered that I think Jude Law is a slimy, arrogant philanderer, as he will not go away. Now I will try it with George Clooney.

Hmm.

You know, you should try to use this power you have for good. Try saying, “ha haaa! No (Jude Law)s on me mate!â€, or “ha haaa! No (huge bags of chocolate)s on me mate!â€ or “ha haaa! No (big sacks of lime)s on me mate!â€.

Let me know what happens, m’kay?

I too sympathise with you sister of mine. The caravan my bloke and I currently live in gets too hot in the early evening to have the door shut but having the door open means that all the cockroaches and mozzies decide to come and say hi. It’s really very sociable of them but I do wish that they wouldn’t! We’re going through one hell of a lot of mozzie coils at the moment set up by the door, it’s the only thing that keeps most of them out.

Granny P, I think I will have to. But what to do about the sofa?

Dom, my apologies! I hope I didn’t make you imagine a cockroach crawling out of your sandwich…

Mel, they are foul. I never heard of pif paf though. Here there is only DOOM. and in Malaysia, we made do with a shoe.

Oh Rachael, please. I don’t mean to sound too unsympathetic, but really - I’m trying to eat my lunch!

Rule one: cover up all plugs in basins, shower outlets etc. We too have a cockroach problem - but they live in the septic tank and this stops them. (Your seeing one come out the plughole seems significant.) Good luck. The bloody things give me the heeby-jeebies so I feel for you.
